Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand

Author: A. Alford Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 439 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand, In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light: 'Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin; Fling open wide the golden gates And let the victors in. 2 What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore, Where severed friendships are restored And partings are no more. Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy pow'r and reign. Appear, Desire of nations! Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Savior, come! Amen.

Caught By Th'Almighty Hand

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Caught by th’Almighty hand Lyrics: 1 Caught by th’Almighty hand, That Spirit of the Lord, Carried beyond myself I stand, A witness of His Word; I see the book unsealèd, Least of the prophets’ sons, I mark Ezekiel’s valley filled With visionary bones! 2 Many they are and dry, Spread through the open vale, Millions of lifeless souls they lie Within the Christian pale: I pass the churches through, The scattered bones I see, And Christendom appears in view A hideous Calvary. 3 Can these dry bones perceive The quickening power of grace, Or Christian infidels retrieve The life of righteousness? All-good, almighty Lord, Thou know’st Thine own design, The virtue of Thine own great Word, The energy divine. 4 Now for Thy mercy’s sake, Let Thy great Word proceed, Dispensed by whom Thou wilt, to wake The spiritually dead; Send forth to prophesy Thy chosen messenger, And Thou the Gospel word apply, And force the world to hear. 5 "Hear, ye dry bones, and feel The word of truth and grace: I will in you Myself reveal, I will your spirits raise," Jehovah speaks the word! The promise is for you, Ye shall be gradually restored, And fashioned all anew. 6 Lord, while at Thy command Thy servants prophesy, O let it spread through every land The sound of Jesus nigh! The dead professors shake, And with Thy quickening breath, Dispose their senseless souls to wake Out of the sleep of death. Used With Tune: ALFORD

I heard a sound of voices

Author: Godfrey Thring Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: I heard a sound of voices Around the great white throne, With harpers harping on their harps To him that sat thereon: "Salvation, glory, honour!" I heard the song arise, As through the courts of heaven it rolled In wondrous harmonies. From every clime and kindred, And nations from afar, As serried ranks returning home In triumph from a war, I heard the saints upraising, The myriad hosts among, In praise of him who died and lives, Their one glad triumph song. 503 I saw the holy city, The New Jerusalem, Come down from heaven, a bride adorned With jeweled diadem; The flood of crystal waters Flowed down the golden street; And nations brought their honours there, And laid them at her feet. And there no sun was needed, Nor moon to shine by night, God's glory did enlighten all, The Lamb himself the light; And there his servants serve him, And, life's long battle o'er, Enthroned with him, their Savior, King, They reign for evermore. O great and glorious vision! The Lamb upon his throne; O wondrous sight for man to see! The Savior with his own: To drink the living waters And stand upon the shore, Where neither sorrow, sin, nor death Shall ever enter more. O Lamb of God who reignest! Thou bright and morning Star, Whose glory lightens that new earth Which now we see from far! O worthy Judge eternal! When thou dost bid us come, Then open wide the gates of pearl And call thy servants home. Amen. Topics: Processional; Sunday Schools Used With Tune: ALFORD

Sticheron of the Resurrection

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The day of resurrection! Let gladness light each face Lyrics: The Day of Resurrection! Let gladness light each face; And in our solemn concourse give To each a kind embrace; For Christ the Lord hath risen, And death by death is slain; The silent dwellers in the tomb Are called to life again. To those who love or hate us, "Our brethren," let us say; Be all with joy forgiven, This Resurrection Day. For Christ the Lord hath risen, And death by death is slain, The silent dwellers in the tomb Are called to life again. Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, 1902 Text Sources: Pentecostarion, p. 5
